Workflow issue Markdown linting(#1917)

Open Shrishti1701 opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

I've been encountering persistent issues with the Markdown linting workflow. The problem is quite inconsistent — sometimes a test passes, and then the very next day, the same test fails without any changes. This has been going on for several weeks now.

As a result, I'm unable to complete my pull request for the current issue, and it's also blocking me from committing changes related to another issue I'm working on. I'd appreciate any guidance or support in resolving this so I can move forward with my contributions.

Honestly, if the markdown checker isn't working well, it's really not urgent or necessary and I'd be just as happy to put it off until we can be sure that it works consistently. An unsuitable or flaky linter is worse for the project than no linter because it generates a lot of extra work. And adding one now, when we have 40+ open pull requests that might be affected, is a bad idea anyhow.

I know this is probably disappointing given the amount of time you've spent wrestling with that PR, but I think we should just close the markdown linter PR and you should move on.

@terriko I’ll go ahead and close that PR and move on to the other stuff I’ve been working on. Appreciate the support and the clear direction!
